The Viniyoga Toolkit
Yoga Foundation Course (40 hours)
Are you ready to take your Yoga practice further?
Develop your Yoga practice
If you are fascinated by Yoga but not sure that you want to teach (yet?), this is the perfect training to take your Yoga practice to the next level.
This 40 hour Yoga foundation training will give you a rounded introduction to the theory that underpins Yoga while developing your individual skills as a Yoga practitioner.
You’ll develop a varied toolkit and explore useful practices that are not always taught in general classes. This is the ideal way to expand your Yoga horizons in a safe and supportive environment.
Which aspects of Yoga will I explore?
To give you a good grounding in key aspects of Yoga our core syllabus includes:
• A detailed review of key āsanas (postures) and their practical use,
• Practice planning basics so you can start to create your own simple practices,
• A practical introduction to a variety of prāṇāyāma (breath control) techniques and their use,
• How to get started with meditation and then to develop your practice,
• How to use sound and chanting in your practice (no previous singing ability necessary!),
• An introduction to the subtle tools of mudrā, nyāsa and bhāvanā and how to integrate them into your practice,
• An introduction to sanskrit and its importance in Yoga,
• The history of Yoga and an overview of key areas of Yoga philosophy,
• An introduction to āyurveda and its relationship to Yoga.
Optional suggestions for additional home study may be made during the course. The course is not formally assessed so you can focus on learning in your own way and simply enjoying the journey!
Is this course right for me?
We normally ask for you to have completed our The Viniyoga Toolkit Introductory weekend as this course builds on its content.
However, if you do not meet these criteria but you feel you have a similar level of experience and can demonstrate commitment to your practice, we are happy to discuss whether the course may still be appropriate for you at this time.
Will I receive a certificate?
We award a The Viniyoga Toolkit Yoga Foundation Course Certificate of Attendance to students who achieve 80% attendance or above (please note that for group courses it is possible to make up missed group hours by negotiation with your tutor but these are subject to an additional charge).
What happens after I have completed my course?
If you decide that you would like to teach Yoga in the future, your completed course hours can be used towards the theory hours for completion of our 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course.
If you completed the course for purely personal development, you will have the option to continue your Yoga journey with us on a 1-2-1 basis so that you can continue exploring your favourite areas in a way that works just for you.
“I’m so glad I found you and that I came on your Foundation Course. You have given me the tools that now I can use to develop my own practice and incorporate Yoga into my everyday.”
“Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort for the Foundation course. I really enjoyed it and have benefited enormously. I am looking forward to continuing to learn about Yoga and I’m sure I’ll be returning to your courses. ”
